Marthandam-Thirukurichi Route map



After a fairly long working day myself and Preethi were on our way back to Marthandam. Our village guide Anish a young boy who had just completed his intermediate, took us to the nearest bus stop. The bus stop was a neatly built small structure with shade and bench stone barely accomodating four people. The village junction had a clean and green feel about it.Everything seemed prim and prom.

As we boarded the mini bus that came rattling down the road with a thunderous speaker playing local movie songs. My attention was drawn towards a white information board.The rural private mini bus service has an effective method of functioning.I was pleasantly surprised and appreciated the route map along with the distance and corresponding rate chart displayed in the bus. There is so much of transparency, clarity and accountability in operating the services even at last miles.
